Jorge Hané

We will examine Jorge Hané’s format to determine its effectiveness. There are 250 mgs of Green Tea, which, the website explains, contains a component called EGCg that can help a dieter lose 20 to 30 percent of body weight within 2 to 7 days due to a reduction in appetite and digestion of energy as food that the Jorge Hané supplement creates.

Green Tea and Java Tea both have powerful antioxidants, as well as hypoglycemic properties instrumental in weight loss. But, this combination does not aid in raising metabolic rate, which we believe is more effective in raising energy levels and losing weight at the same time. We would suggest a supplement that contains the appetite suppressant, Hoodia, combined with an ephreda-alternative supplement that suppresses appetite while increasing metabolism.

The website explains that three of the body’s natural energy processes interact with the chemicals in the Green Tea (250 mg), resulting in reduced appetite, reduced absorption of energy as food, and increased energy consumption by stimulating fat cells to become energy in the body, technically referred to as “lipolysis.”

The other ingredient, 150 milligrams of Java Tea, works as a diuretic and has many of the antioxidant properties, as Green Tea does. The website cites studies that cite observation of “mild hypoglycemic properties, which would also indicate that it is helpful in prevention of weight gain.”

The website features Alicia Machado, Miss Universe 1996, who had gained twenty pounds right after winning the crown. She is featured in a video on the website, praising Jorge Hané and his diet program. Being that it is 2006, she is one person who can testify to the effectiveness of the program in keeping the weight off. The diet, according to Hané, is determined by an individual’s goals, body type and metabolism.

The recommended usage is one tablet 20-30 minutes prior to each meal. The plan comes with a calisthenic-based exercise plan developed by Jorge Hané that is designed to complement an aerobic regimen. Hané refers to the habit-formation pattern hypothesized by behavioral psychologists and made well-known by Steven Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective People that it takes 21 days to make or break a habit. Hané takes his diet followers two-thirds of the way there, believing that the dieter is on his or her way to developing a new habit of eating.

• Has a combination of diet, exercise and supplements
• Determines the weight-loss plan by focusing on each individuals goals, body type, and metabolism

• It does not give specifics on the diet plan and if dieters will have to invest in special foods they cannot find in average grocery stores
• It does not give specifics on the exercise plan, which, along with the diet plans, we believe should be given in detail before purchasing the plan
• Even though he has marketed his product extensively in Latin America, he does not have a lot of endorsements on his website

In the end, we believe that there are other dietary supplements on the market that combine more modern ingredients that are known to be most effective in weight loss programs. The fact that the website lists the combination of diet, exercise and supplements in its program, it does not give specifics on the diet or exercise, which could be a problem if dieters decide that the diet does not appeal to them when they find out the specifics of it. We advise consumers to seek out manufactures who are confident enough to offer free trial samples of their product.
